Fuxi and his sister arrived at the Purple Cloud Palace early.

Fuxi, however, had his sister Nu Wa sit on a cushion!

He himself stayed behind to protect her.

In the vast Purple Cloud Palace, three thousand people listened to the teachings, yet there were only a few cushions.

If one said there was no reason for this.

Who would believe it?

Everyone knew at a glance!

Although he didn't know what opportunity this was, did Fuxi not want it?

Of course, he wanted it.

It was just that Fuxi also knew deeply that he and his sister were not strong enough.

It was impossible for them to each occupy a seat!

It was better to make plans early, let his sister sit down, and he would protect her from behind.

As expected.

Just as Fuxi predicted, the incident of Jieyin and Zhun Ti from the West fighting for seats occurred.

Looking at Zhun Ti, who was smiling and greeting everyone, and Jieyin, who had a look of bitter sorrow on his face.

"Opportunities are determined by fate, but only those with strength can seize them!"

Fuxi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This Primordial Era, in the final analysis, was still a world where strength reigned supreme!

Jieyin and Zhun Ti also specifically thanked Kun Peng for giving up his seat at this time.

This infuriated Kun Peng to no end.

With a dark expression, Kun Peng greeted everyone in a cold voice. After cupping his hands towards everyone, he left alone.

Zhun Ti then said meaningfully to Hong Yun:

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for the cushion."

Judging by Zhun Ti's tone, it sounded more like he was blaming Hong Yun.

At this moment, Zhun Ti felt increasingly uneasy the more he thought about it.

"I was just muddle-headed at the time!"

"If I hadn't accepted Hong Yun's cushion and just sat down, and if Teacher Hongjun saw I had no seat, he might have given me another one!"

Thinking back to Hong Yun, although he had kindly helped him out of a difficult situation.

Ultimately, he had ruined his own opportunity!

He felt a hidden emotion, so his gaze towards Hong Yun was a little off.

Hong Yun naturally noticed!

Mainly because Zhun Ti's gaze was so undisguised.

"This guy, although I intended to trick him, I did help him out of a jam."

"And now he's looking at me like this?"

"What, you think you can just bully me?"

Hong Yun also felt a trace of displeasure, and then his thoughts turned. He said with a chuckle:

"This is a small matter. As cultivators, we should help each other!"

The smile on Hong Yun's face was indeed genuine at this moment.

He had initially felt unhappy, but thinking that Zhun Ti was even more unhappy made Hong Yun happy.

Moreover, no matter how unhappy Zhun Ti was.

He would still have to accept Hong Yun's favor and owe him karma!

Zhun Ti naturally hadn't thought of thanking Hong Yun, so the system directly intervened.

Although Hong Yun was a little dissatisfied with drawing the opportunity of the "Twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus," seeing Zhun Ti like this now made him feel much better!

This exchange between the two fell into the eyes of everyone present.

There was a hint of amusement in everyone's gaze!

The others were fine, remaining silent.

Tong Tian, being the most straightforward, actually let out a soft laugh!

"Heh..."

Only then did Zhun Ti notice.

His heart skipped a beat:

"This is bad. My actions have caused my fellow Daoists to misunderstand..."

But saying more now would be gilding the lily.

He could only let it go!

As the first to seek out everyone, Di Jun had been carefully observing everyone's reactions.

The Three Pure Ones were aloof, subtly distancing themselves from the others.

Di Jun immediately categorized the Three Pure Ones as someone he could associate with, but not be close to.

Fuxi and his sister were quite good, and seemed like people of great wisdom.

These two from the West, however, made Di Jun frown slightly.

Fortunately, Di Jun had good self-control!

This thought was hidden away in an instant.

On the other hand, Hong Yun made Di Jun's eyes light up!

"I originally thought Daoist Hong Yun was just someone who wasn't good at conversation and was a bit kind-hearted."

"I never expected his magnanimity to be so great."

Di Jun certainly didn't believe Hong Yun couldn't hear the resentment in Zhun Ti's tone.

But seeing Hong Yun's genuine smile!

He seemed completely unfazed by Zhun Ti's resentment, even humbly attributing the help to Zhun Ti.

This could only mean Hong Yun didn't care about the matter.

Instead, he repaid resentment with kindness!

"This person is worth getting to know, someone I can befriend!"

So many thoughts flashed through Di Jun's mind in an instant.

Therefore, when Zhen Yuan Zi, Hong Yun, Hou Tu, Xuanming, and the others greeted everyone.

Di Jun became even more enthusiastic.

Hong Yun simply assumed it was because they had met outside the Purple Cloud Palace before the second sermon.

He didn't think much of it!

After a few pleasantries, and with the sermon concluded, the Purple Cloud Palace was not a place to linger.

They left the Purple Cloud Palace together.

He glanced at the gray, boundless chaos.

The Three Pure Ones took their leave first, followed by Jieyin and Zhun Ti, who said, "The Western road is long," and departed.

At this point, Di Jun looked at the remaining few with a smile and asked, "Fellow Daoists, why don't we find a quiet place to sit, discuss the Dao, and exchange our knowledge?"

Hong Yun was stunned.

???

What was going on!

Hearing Di Jun's warm tone, could he be trying to recruit me and my brother Zhen Yuan Zi into the demon clan?

If it followed the established timeline, Di Jun, Taiyi, Fuxi, and Nu Wa would form the demon clan after the third sermon.

"If I could join when they create the demon clan, and become a Cloud Emperor..."

"Then I could play both sides..."

Thinking of this, Hong Yun shivered.
